Answer:

66.67% probability that all selected components function properly

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the components are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

Desired outcomes:

2 components which function properly, from a set of 5. So

D = C_{5,2} = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} = 10

Total outcomes:

2 components, from a set of 6. So

T = C_{6,2} = \frac{6!}{2!(6-2)!} = 15

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{10}{15} = 0.6667

66.67% probability that all selected components function properly

Perform the indicated operation and write in standard form 5i+(-9-i)
antoniya [11.8K]
Since the sign before the parentheses is a + , we can just remove the parentheses.

<span>5i + (-9 - i) = 5i - 9 - i = -<u>9 + 4i</u></span>

Rewrite <br> 16/9<br> as a mixed number.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
To find the answer,  to convert a improper into mixed,  first take the denominator (9) and find how many times it can go into the numerator (16) FULLY.  The answer is 1 time.  1 is the whole number.  Then whatever is leftover is the new numerator,  and the old denominator is the same.  So your answer is 1 7/9

Hope this helps!
